Moira Dela Torre’s honeymoon has given her an appreciation not only of marriage but also of nature.

“During our honeymoon in El Nido & Maldives, we fell in love w our country & our planet all over again,” she tweeted today, Jan. 28.
“In the last two weeks, we realized we simply couldn’t go on w our lives [without] promising to be kinder to our home. Help! Suggestions are welcomed.”
She asked for recommendations too in going zero-waste, and netizens chimed in on tips and places to shop for a plastic-free lifestyle.
Yesterday, Jan. 27, Dela Torre expressed awe at the cleanliness in the Palawan destination.

“Not once did we see plastic on any of the islands in the 5 days we spent there,” she said, sharing a picture of the resort villas they stayed in.
El Nido’s local government banned single-use plastic on boat tours last September to prevent pollution. It has an ordinance that regulates the use of plastics as food and drink containers.
Sharing a picture of the crystal clear water, she said, “I mean look at that.”
